Hello there!
I'm new to forum, but need a help with my friends laptop.
He has Lenovo Ideapad 100-14iby as it shows the title of my question.
He wanted to replace the basic memory with a Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1.6GHz DDR3 ram, but after it the windows won't boot, just black screen.
The computer itself starts, but nothing happened after that.
I tried to 'google' for compatibility but found nothing (maybe my bad).
His computer specifications:
Lenovo Ideapad 100-14iby, Intel Celeron N2940, and DDR3 2GB 1.6GHz memory.
It installed correctly, so it should be compatible problem or we should look for something else?

Your laptop can be upgraded up to 4GB and the RAM you need is this.

- 4GB DDR3L - 1600 SODIMM / DDR3L PC3L-12800 1.35V
- 4GB DDR3L - 1866 SODIMM / DDR3 PC3 14900 1.35V
